The raw man
by George Makana Clark
In a resurrected bungalow on the edge of the fledgling nation of Zimbabwe, Sergeant Gordon's story has come to rest. He's borne it across drought-blasted floodplains, after fleeing the copper mine - his prison for years. In darkness, underground, his story took form. Oscillating between the material and spiritual worlds, we learn his story in reverse, from the military, to adolescent rebellion, a patchwork education and the brutal initiations of youth; back to childhood, birth and beyond. We travel the scarred landscapes of Southern Africa - its history - the present. Gordon must do the same, revealing the secrets of his own ancestry.
